Bio

I am a veteran Thermographer with over 20 years of field experience, performing infrared inspections since 2005. I earned my Level I certification in 2006 and Level II in 2021 and have completed thermal inspections in all fifty U.S. states as well as multiple international locations.

I’ve worked across nearly every environment imaginable—from power generation facilities and high-voltage substations to commercial buildings, hotels, and residential properties. My experience includes electrical systems, transmission lines, boilers, and roof diagnostics. I also conduct aerial thermography using small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) and hold a certified drone pilot credential.

Throughout my career, I’ve trained and mentored multiple thermographers who have gone on to build long-term careers in the field. While my work spans many disciplines, my primary focus is electrical infrastructure, where accurate thermal data prevents failures, fires, and costly downtime. I’m known for precise inspections, practical reporting, and delivering results clients can trust.
